What is considered a normal level of calcium in the soil for raising Dill's Atlantic Giant Pumpkins?

I'm not sure there are any firm #'s for Ca in terms of parts per million. mine is at around 3000 ppm. if that helps any.
as far as % saturation goes ... I have seen the following numbers as a guild line.
K 5-7%
Ma 10-15%
Ca 70-80%
Sodium less than 3%
